Long Island in New York is famous for a lot of things — water sports, beautiful ocean views, and the hustle and bustle of the city are just a few. While the thought of regional traffic might typically deter you from taking a leisurely drive around Long Island roads, there are a few scenic drives in the area that give passengers a glimpse of the beauty of the island — getting away from it all, even just for a few moments.

One of the most famed areas in Long Island, New York is the Gold Coast. As the inspiration for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby, the Gold Coast is lined with beautiful mansions that call back the festive and glamorous era of the 1920s. Between the castle-like architecture, colonial-style harbor towns, and seafront views, you’ll have the drive of a lifetime.

Another recommended route is 25A, which stretches for 55 miles along the North Shore. It’s sure to wow you with beachside villages, sandy landscapes, and the natural, tree-lined views reminiscent of a countryside road. Also, to the eastern side of Long Island is the Great Peconic Bay, which splits the quieter North Fork and the more energetic, youthful Hamptons in half. With local shops, small villages, and beaches on all sides, you’re sure to stumble across Long Islands roads that suit you.

When designing the all-new CX-9, Mazda had one goal in mind — to deliver a more upscale, quality product without bumping up the price of the affordable, family-friendly crossover. The CX-9 proves its worth as a top family car by accomplishing these goals, creating a vehicle loaded with premium comforts and amenities at an economy car price, perfect for a family on a budget.

For large families, getting into a three-row SUV is always a hassle, what with the need to shift around seats and climb over other passengers. However, the new Mazda CX-9 features the convenience of second-row tilting and sliding seats, making third-row access easier than ever. Rear USB charging ports will also satisfy any teenager with a finicky phone battery. The CX-9 also offers a third-row anchor tether for car seats, and rear sun shades on the windows.

Additionally, the new CX-9 offers standard Three-Zone automatic climate control, meaning passengers can control their own temperature without disturbing other people in the car. No more kids fighting over whether they’re too hot or too cold!

After the previous generation of the CX-9 ran for over 10 years, Mazda knew redesigning the crossover for a competitive segment would give it the boost it needed to succeeded. With all the features needed to make it a top family car, the Mazda CX-9 was made to be an affordable option for large families.
